    It's just not good

    I watched this based on it being on Amazon Prime and thought the story looked good. But it just never got going. Acting was dire, that was my main issue. Like it's hilariously bad at times. For about an hour as well literally nothing happens, it's the same situation as it started. It's poorly executed unfortunately.

    It's very evident these 10/10 reviews are from people associated with this film. And another 1/10 review states this as well. Which is just a bit sad really as clearly they cannot take criticism.

    Rare film and that's even better

    Oh my God, I finished it and still hardly believe what I saw, and also wondered how I managed to finish this trash. I decided to take a "risk" with a movie about which my instinct told me not to try it. But from time to time, it may be good to go against your instinct. However, here, no. I did not get nothing at all and I congratulate those who could. I did not. But that's the name of the game with all those batches of streaming platforms features. Well, if I am factual, I will say the screenwriters have tried something different, and we must admit it, unlike all those movies which look all alike. At least, this one, tried something else.

    that was genuinely painful to watch

    That fact this absolute disgrace is on amazon prime is concerning. The acting in this was horrendous and that's being generous. I'm extremely confident I could act better then everyone in this Film, in fact I think I could create a better film myself with the loose change in my pocket. For the love of god no one make the mistake of watching this like I did, I was miserable the entire time. An hour and half I'm never going to get back.

    Great movie

    I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I had to go out for an unbreakable appointment with 15 minutes to go and couldn't wait to get home to see the conclusion.

    Fiona Ramsey was perfectly cast as the domineering and overbearing sister of Panos. I'm sure as I did, most people came to hate her quite early into the action.

    Brendan Grealy was fantastic as the alcohol and drug fueled Psycho husband who became more menacing as the story unfolded.

    The mother and daughter characters were again well cast giving credibility to a sometimes strange plot.

    The main character for me was Mark Mulder as Gunther. He gave a superb performance with a great twist in the story.

    I would thoroughly recommend this movie to anyone.
